2011 Groundlings: the winners!

Here’s Greenroom’s annual touch of love on Valentine’s Day.
Warmest congratulations to the following winners of the 2011 Groundling Awards for Queensland Theatre.
Thank you to all those who nominated and those who voted in the second year of the state’s people’s choice awards.
Athough there are no shiny trophies, certificates, or galas where you can applaud and shout, ‘Hoorah!’ all nominees can all bask in the knowledge that your work is admired and respected by your audiences. Well done!
Greenroom will follow up soon with another post on some intriguing facts and figures we’ve gathered during the Groundlings nomination and voting process. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook to keep posted.
Thank you to Claire Christian, Youth Director Empire Theatre Toowoomba for her assistance in scrutinising the results.
